First 2015 Team Meeting

First 2015 Team Meeting

The Italian Cinema Audiences team held its first meeting of 2015 in Bristol last week.
This was an opportunity for us to reflect on what we have done so far and to discuss our plans for the current year.

What have we done so far?

We have completed the first phase of our data collection, gathering over 1000 questionnaires.
We have done preliminary analysis, both quantitative and qualitative, of our data.
We have presented our project and its initial results at various events.

We have started the second phase of our data collection. Memoro has already conducted about 70 video-interviews for us.

Among the many highlights of the past year, the most memorable one has been our participation at Hollywood Party, a show on the Italian national radio channel Radio 3. It was fantastic to see the audience’s positive response to our project! Their reaction confirmed what we have realised in the past months every time we have talked about our research: we all have memories of cinema-going and we are very keen to share them. Please go to the event page to listen to the podcast.

Our activities for the current year include:

Completing the second phase of data collection. By the end of the first quarter of the year we will have a total of 160 video-interviews

Presenting the results of our research at various academic conferences

Carrying out archival research
